Topic: Different opinions on how far back to cut the lace Posted: Feb 01 2013 at 9:40am

I've been watching lots of YT videos on cutting the lace and it seems that I'm seeing a few different opinions on how far back to cut it. Some videos are showing and saying to cut right butt up against the first knots and some are showing about 1/8 inches or so. Looking for opinions and reasons for cutting lace at different spots. I'd assume you wouldn't want any lace at all, therefor to cut as close to the knots as possible. Is this not the case?

yes, please cut the lace all the way back. When I first started wearing lace wigs, I left about 1/2" of lace on my forehead and glued the wig down because I looked at a Ms. Lola video who said to do so. I think back at how ridiculous that must have looked and just shake my head at myself.

Oh Ms. Lola lol...

Yes I cut all the way to the knots. I don't use glues or tapes, just the Tootsie method, so having this extra edge of lace is unnecessary. As long as you're sealing the knots and the edge of the lace you shouldn't have an issue. Leaving lace is something that's done to prevent "losing hair" from fraying.
